The 2012 Kia Optima, briefly
The 2012 Kia Optima at a glance: a mid-size car with the 2.4L 4-cylinder hybrid.
What the figures tell you
It runs the 2.4L 4-cylinder hybrid, with front-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter. It shifts by itself; there is no clutch pedal to think about.
Its combined rating is 6.5 L/100 km, which means roughly 20 litres for 300 km. The split is 6.9 L/100 km in town and 6.2 on the highway. Driving 300 km costs roughly $30.24 at our price setting.
Out of town
A long weekend away is easy to price with the figures on this page. Each car shows the kilometres included each day and the rate for extra ones. Return the car with the same fuel it had at pickup.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
What the Optima is like
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is rated at 283 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Our Optima cars
Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer. This exact car is not in our fleet at the moment; a request asks us to look for one. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Requesting a car
To get started, send a request for the car and dates. You are not charged for it. A real person reviews your request and sends an offer with the price spelled out. An offer is valid for 24 hours, and you pay only when you approve it.
Each car's calendar shows the days it is already booked. Short trips and long stays use the same request; the rate follows the length. Give us 2 hours or more before the pickup and we can usually make it work.
Driver requirements
The minimum age is 18, and the licence must be an Ontario G2 or G, valid for the whole trip. Age fees stop at 26: younger drivers pay a daily young driver fee. Debit works on cars marked "no credit card needed"; the others take a credit card.
Liability to others is in the rate. Damage to the car is handled by your policy (OPCF 27), your card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan, priced in your offer. We hold the deposit shortly before pickup and release it after the return. We verify licences and identity for every renter, with no exceptions.

Pick the car that fits the trip and send a request.
